I got this response at another forum, any thoughts on this angle? "Hi, This isn't leather goods and I don't know if it is pertinent to your question but here is a link to a rifle hand guard with a similar marking. http://lmd-militaria.com:80/page754.html Regards, Leon" This was my resopnse...

Hello All!!! I am very familiar with the letter codes and WaA##s but I have something that baffles me totally. Equipment marked with S.U.W.W. with a ReichsAdler and Su21 beneath it in place of the WaA. Any ideas on who or what these markings would belong to? Any help would be greatly appreciate. htt...

I got the info from pg. 240 of Piekalkiewicz's book, "The Cavalry of World War II". And on this page he spells it "Von Winnig Mounted Force". And Richter's books, while good, do not go into that type of detail. I appreciate your help, though, and am trying to teach myself deutsch...

I have a bad habit of asking the hard questions, dont I?

I believe that is just the tactical symbol for Brigade HQ, I think the unit insignia goes on the right rear and right front of vehicles. Here is an excellent table of all the tactical symbols used by the Wehrmacht: http://niehorster.orbat.com/011_germany/symbols/_symbols_39.html take a look at the i...

I have all the decent books on the Wehrmacht Kavallerie that I have found available in english and can find nothing on von Winnig's Mounted Force. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
